Annotation: The purpose of this book is to offer owners and managers of small businesses a new and more effective way to think about lawyers, law, and litigation. "Your Lawyer: An Owner's Manual" is a brass-tacks insider's guide that demonstrates smarter ways to find, work with, and motivate attorneys. Author Henry C. Krasnow is an attorney with four decades of experience helping small businesses, and he writes with an insider's perspective on what businesspeople need to know about managing this pivotal business relationship. The book outlines this relationship in ways that are clear, simple, and straight-forward so that readers can learn ways to save time, frustration, and money. It furnishes a useful overview of the entire legal process-what's happening, why it's happening, and even why it's often so frustrating. "Your Lawyer: An Owner's Manual" should help you solve your legal problems with less cost and more satisfaction. It will help business-people understand what legal issues they should be able to control-and there are a lot of them. And the more you control, the more likely you are to be satisfied with the outcome and with your lawyer. Among the issues the book covers:

The discovery, care, and feeding of good lawyers
Twelve great ways to get more from your lawyer for less
Litigation: it's not about justice, it's about dollars
Translating legal language
Managing your lawyer during a contract negotiation
Estate planning
Family ownership issues

Small businesses are consumers of legal services. "Your Lawyer: An Owner's Manual" will help them identify whether they are working with the best possible lawyer and will show them how, by becoming better consumers, they can develop strategies to get higher-quality legal service.

Henry C. Krasnow, JD, is an attorney who has worked with small and mid-sized businesses, among other clients, for 40 years. He is senior partner at the Chicago-based law firm Krasnow Saunders Cornblath, LLP.
